I had a set of nails today, done for a young lady who I went to school with for a couple of years, and haven't seen in several (so more like acquaintance), and she almost had me ripping my hair out. No matter what I did, she just would not sit back, chill out, and let me do my job :irked: I'm a very, very soft person, and extremely over careful because I'm constantly worried about hurting someone (that will probably change as my confidence goes up, but anyway)
Right from the word go she was complaining. I did a extension, using clear nail tips, to her natural nails, and every time I went to clip the excess off, no matter how I held her, she'd tense and pull her finger up (obviously pulling the tip down), then she'd complain. I took a couple of deep breaths, and explained to her that she had to relax, that the clippers were no where near her finger, and were only cutting the plastic, but if she kept tensing it could pull the tip off which would hurt. So we got through that, then while trying to do her acrylics, she kept trying to tilt her hand back to watch what I was doing and "see how they're turning out". Another calm explanation of "I really need you to try relax, so I can see what I'm doing" got a reply of "well I'm a control freak, and I like seeing what you're doing" (no word of a lie) I'm so not looking forward to the re balance :| how would anyone who's been doing this longer than I have handle it if she still refuses to settle and let me do my job next time??
